The Geologically Improbable Railroad

The grading of the layout is complete

The main grade around the outside of the yard
has been established. Before this happened, a brick wall and
walkway was installed next to the house and a short block wall was
built at the base of the ivy covered fence to define a DMZ for the
ivy.

The track that goes around the mountain is supported on a 4"
wide block wall that also holds the mountain in place. This wall,
and all other features of the layout, were placed by the numbers
from the CAD files for the layout design. Everything fit as
designed.
